On (b)(6) 2021, a perceval plus valve size s (pvf-s) was implanted as part of an aortic valve replacement procedure.After the implant, the tee showed severe perivalvular leak (pvl).The correct position of the perceval plus valve was confirmed with the post implant tee.The perceval valve was consequently explanted intraoperatively.The annulus was re-examined for any possible leftover calcium deposits and was re-sized.A new perceval plus valve pvf-s was ultimately implanted.The tee confirmed a good functionality of the new valve implanted.Upon visual inspection of the affected valve, a structural problem was identified.The patient¿s postoperative course was complicated by mitral valve regurgitation, that was not directly linked with the perceval valve implantation.On (b)(6) 2021, a perceval plus valve size s (pvf-s) was implanted as part of an aortic valve replacement procedure.After the implant, the tee showed severe perivalvular leak (pvl).The correct position of the perceval plus valve was confirmed with the post implant tee.The perceval valve was consequently explanted intraoperatively.The annulus was re-examined for any possible leftover calcium deposits and was re-sized.A new perceval plus valve pvf-s was ultimately implanted.The tee confirmed a good functionality of the new valve implanted.Upon visual inspection of the affected valve, a structural problem was identified.The patient¿s postoperative course was complicated by mitral valve regurgitation, that was not directly linked with the perceval valve implantation.
